I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible care A2Zi but specifically Zi has provided for my daughter over the years. From the time she was just 4 years old and starting reception, to now as she stands on the threshold of secondary school, A2Zi has been an unwavering source of support, kindness and love.
My daughter has special needs, and finding someone who could truly understand, nurture, and meet her unique requirements was a challenge I faced with trepidation. A2Zi quickly turned that anxiety into peace and trust. She has been shown nothing but patience and respect, celebrating her strengths and gently supporting her challenges in a way that has helped her flourish.
Zi’s approach is consistently warm, compassionate, and professional. Whether it was helping her navigate social situations, offering her a calming environment, or simply making her feel safe and valued, A2Zi has gone above and beyond. My daughter has grown into a confident and happy young person, and I truly believe that Zi’s love and dedication have played an instrumental role in this.
Over the years, Zi has felt like an extended part of our family, and leaving her care as my daughter begins secondary school is bittersweet. It is rare to find someone so genuinely invested in the well-being of the children they look after. I wholeheartedly recommend A2Zi to any parent seeking exceptional childminding services—she has been a blessing to me and will undoubtedly be the same for others.
Thank you, A2Zi, for everything you’ve done for our family. You have made an extraordinary difference in my daughter’s life, and for that, we will always be grateful.

Nozipho is simply amazing, she has looked after my son for 4 years and has given him the best care that any childcare provider could possibly give. She is immensely attentive to my son's needs and gets me as a parent involved with all his care with her excellent communication skills. She has increased his learning and development through activities and free play in a very safe and friendly environment. My son is always happy to attend A2zi childcare and me as a mother has no doubt in my head throughout the day while at work. A2zi childcare is simply the best and I recommend it to any parent looking for a safe and healthy environment for their little one .

A2zi Childcare is a very warm and welcoming environment, our experience with the settings has been an amazing one, Our mind is always at rest whenever our son is with A2zi Childcare knowing fully well that his needs will be fully met, when we initially brought him to the settings, we taught he would hardly cope but to our greatest surprise, he catches up quickly and before we knew what was going on, he has already adapt to the environment and so much use to the settings, he is always happy and lively whenever I go to pick him up, thumps up to our favourite teachers too at A2zi, I would recommend A2zi again and again.

When you find someone as attentive, warm, passionate as Zi you will understand how important it is to send your child somewhere where they are happy and thriving. Zi’s setting is the perfect balance between fun and educational, i have had no concerns of the care that she provides, her communication skills are great. Zi is always happy and willing to discuss quires and concerns. This setting is the definition of a home away from home. If you are looking for someone who will care for your child as her own i highly recommend Zi, you will not be disappointed. My son has been going to Zi’s since 2022 and it is the best decision i have ever made.

A2Zi Childcare was recommended to us by a friend and our little one has enjoyed an amazing pre-school journey. Zi is professional, caring, patient and fun. The children love her, the setting is perfect and the variety of activities, meals and early education provided is spot on.

Our little girl will be turning 3 soon and she has been attending this setting since she was 1. As a lockdown baby, it was really important that our LG felt comfortable, secure and loved and I can wholeheartedly say that this has been the case. Zi cares about all her little people and she is firm, fair and loving providing them with rich and diverse activities that help them to develop and grow along the EYES and beyond. Also, a quick note to add that all A2Zi staff have been amazing, they are so authentic, welcoming and warm and have a genuine heart and love for the kids. Both I and LG pick up on energy and we couldn't have asked for more, we are very happy we found this setting and can't recommend it enough.

My son has been going to Zi since April 2022, since then his communication and independence has developed so much. Zi is patient, loving, caring and has a passion for children. Her communication is amazing, she goes above and beyond to make parents feel comfortable and reassured. Give Zi a try and you will never regret it !!

When you are a mother you want the best for your child, in my case I looked for several nurseries, and I did not feel more comfortable and calm until I found Zi and her team. I am tremendously grateful for all the affection and dedication they had with my baby, the patience, the love and all the learning that he experienced day by day (with the chicks, the frogs, the plants), because apart from everything conventional, Zi and her team do everything possible for your child to experience the workings of nature. The best of all is that you are informed at all times, about your baby's development, food, activities, so you don't miss a single detail of what he does, it is wonderful to see how your child enjoys every day singing, playing and learning. They are like a big family.
Thank you Zi, Gillian and Natasha for all the love and care you gave my son.
Lots of love,
Ethan and Eli xx

My 2.5 years old daughter is attending A2zi childcare since October. Zi, Gillian and Natasha are amazing. They plan various activities for children and help them grow. The team go out of their way to make sure children are learning in a fun environment. They cover various aspects of education, environment, culture, etc. My daughter has shown tremendous improvement in her vocabulary, math and social skills. As a working mom, I am glad that my daughter is excited to go there every morning. The team provides a safe environment and takes care of meal preferences or any special needs. It always amazes me how enthusiastic the team is, when we go for picking up my daughter. They provide clear updates on my daughter's day.

My 2-year-old daughter Jaime had wonderful time with A2Zi. She settled in well really quickly. Zi plans safe and fun activities every day for the children. Different themes every week such as People who help us, music, world book day, etc. Not only Zi but Natasha and Gillian are also extremely friendly and helpful. Jaime had the most amazing time and I can really see that she has learned and grown thanks to A2Zi. I feel really lucky and grateful that I found A2Zi and Zi was able to take Jaime in. Highly recommend to every parent who is looking for childminding service.

Our girl has been going to A2Zi since August and she absolutely loves it. They have amazing, fun and educational activities everyday. Zi, Natasha and Gillian are the best carers for our daughter. I know that she is in safe hands. The interaction and relationships they have with our little one and the other children in attendance there shows how much they care. Our daughter has come on leaps and bounds since attending. Her speech has improved. Her behaviours have improved and it’s such a relief as a working mum to see how much she is thriving. I could never put into words how much I love A2Zi for their professionalism, their care and I will be eternally grateful for all they do. I really like the updates they give us on how our girl is doing daily, weekly and every term. I honestly don’t know how the team do it! Always so fresh, bubbly and happy, I’m exhausted after a few hours with my little darling but they go above and beyond day in day out. I would highly recommend this childcare setting!

The team at A2Zi are the absolute creme de la creme when it comes to looking after our precious little ones. I have no need to worry when my child is in their safe hands. He is fed and well cared for and all his needs are met. He has been with the team for over 4 years and before going to school was taught by the team using the EYFS framework. I am VERY happy with their service and you will be too!

Thank you for the lovely feedback. Its been a pleasure learning and creating memorable moments with LO.
My son has been going to A2Zi for just over 18 months. Due to my son's needs we struggled to find the right childcare setting, however I can confidently say I have found that with Zi. My son has thrived in her care, and I have seen an enormous change in his overall behaviour and development. A very picky eater also, she has a way of encouraging him to try new foods! A home away from home, the setting is welcoming, bright, spacious and at the same time has great health & safety measures in place to make the setting covid safe. I have total peace of mind leaving my son with Zi and her team. Exceptional childcare and very highly reccomended.

My daughter has been going to A2Zi since she was 20 months and is about to turn 3yo next month. From the moment I met Zi I could tell she was special. Zi’s passion for the children and in providing a caring, safe, fun, learning experience for them is apparent whenever you interact with her. At the time my child joined A2Zi she was also attending nursery. Due to limited availability of days at the nursery I started sending her to Zi. The change I saw in her after joining A2Zi was noticeable. She blossomed under Zi’s care. Whilst the nursery (which had a very good Ofsted rating) provided feedback on my child’s activities, I had a better understanding of her development through Zi’s feedback and communication.
Zi’s approach of FUN based learning works beautifully. It is reflected in the results I see not just in my daughter but her bestie too who also attends A2Zi now. The children love going to aunty Zi’s!
Additionally, Zi is very easy going, and enjoys collaborating with the parents. She regularly asks for feedback, is genuinely open to suggestions and where appropriate implements them into her setting and curriculum. A humble person who is constantly looking at ways to improve on what she can do for the children.
A2Zi gives parents the best of both worlds – a nursery like setting with a more personalised care. It is like a home away from home for my little one. Zi’s approach of working together with the parents to ensure your child is getting the support and guidance in their development is priceless. I have peace of mind when I leave my child in the care of A2Zi.
PS: I was so pleased with my child’s development that I ended up taking her out of nursery and sending her to A2Zi full time. One of the best decisions I have made for my precious daughter.

I can only express the truth that A2Zi phenomenal with the dedication to allow your child/ren thrive and attain key skills of their development throughout.
Considering the plight that we are now having to adapt to in this current climate, A2Zi still manage to exceed above and beyond.
As a single parent I can honestly say that I have seen a significant transformation in my daughters capabilities. Supersede my expectations as to previous experiences in another nursery who charged extreme amounts who unfortunately do offer the same levels.
A2Zi encouraging attitude to prepare our little ones for pre school and life in general.
Congratulate with the highest accolades possible, you will not be disappointed a true measure of a very united team

My son whose 3 years old has been attending A2Zi nursery for about 4 weeks now and I am so impressed with the work Zi has done with him. He is more vocal at home and his personality and individuality has become more apparent. I definitely would recommend this nursery especially for parents who might work early shifts, Zi has been very accommodating in regard to this.
Proud mummy .

I have been very lucky to meet Zi! My little one attended from 11 month until she was ready to go preschool, at 37 months.
Zi is so loving and warm, she made my daughter feel like at home and I could trust that she was well taken care of.
Zi was very flexible with our needs; she took and gave every feedback with great professionalism.
My lityle one is now a proper young lady because of Zi's manner of working with the kids.
She is pro diversity :) which is a big plus as we are not from England and English is not our first language.
My little she is very well adjusted with her nursery and I know that is because if the confidence she gained when during her time at Zi.
The words ar not enough to express my gratitude towards Zi and her staff.

Thank you . It was a great pleasure being part of your family.
My son attended A2zi from 10 months old until two years. He was so happy there and enjoyed lots of fun activities. I was kept regularly updated with everything with his daily diary and Zi always responded to messages or questions very quickly. Zi was always very flexible with doing any extra hours if needed, even helping us to arrange babysitting on a Saturday when we moved house. Life saver. All staff have a lovely bond with all the children. When our son first started he had a bit of trouble falling asleep and she even wore him in a sling to help him transition. If you're nervous about leaving a younger child or baby then I highly recommend A2zi. Really really happy with our experience there.

My little one has been to Zi for a while now and she is absolute life saver. She is friendly and accomodating, the enviroment is great as the kids learn so many new things a day and get to try new foods which is amazing. My little one gets to socialize a lot and has quite a few friends.

I found Zi on Childcare.co.uk she was one of the first childminders to reply to my request. When myself and my (now year old) son visited Zi for the first time, it was as though he had known Zi and her children for all his life and he settled in straight away. She always provides a range of activities for the children. Zi is always very efficient and thorough as well as being extremely professional, with her background and qualifications, it no wonder that Zi is so good at what she does. An absolute Godsend!

I chose A2Zi 9 months
ago. Zi has a really lovely manner with all the children in her care. She is always kind, calm and patient with them and my son is happy there. I also liked the fact my son gets the advantage of going to the toddler groups . Zi regularly takes the children to the park and in the garden.
Since my son has been going to Zi we have been reassured that we made absolutely the right choice. My son is so happy there and I’ve been impressed by the variety of toys that A2Zi has . I’ve really seen my son progress since he spent time with Zi and the other children in her care. While he is pleased to see me at the end of the day my son is never desperate to go home and always arrives at A2Zi with a smile.
Whenever I’ve visited A2Zi I’ve seen all the children happily and safely engaged. I’ve always felt very comfortable to ask questions about my son and his day. I highly recommend A2Zi.
